Module Support Parameters
The following AOP Module C-tag parameters are used by configuration software to determine the size of various array data needed to configure the CIP Motion device and whether attributes associated with the converter function will be sent to the CIP Motion device. These parameters are not attributes of any object and are not sent to the CIP Motion device.
Number of Configured Axes
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Required - All AOP | SINT | 2 | 0 | 8 | # of axes |
Configuration software only parameter (does not go to the device), representing the number of axes in this device configured for use.
Inverter Support
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Required - All AOP | SINT | 1 | - | - | Bitmap: 0: Axis 1 Inverter 1: Axis 2 Inverter 2: Axis 3 Inverter 3: Axis 4 Inverter 4: Axis 5 Inverter 5: Axis 6 Inverter 6: Axis 7 Inverter 7: Axis 8 Inverter |
Configuration software only bitmapped parameter (does not go to the device), where each bit determines if an axis instance supports an Inverter power structure. This parameter impacts Inverter specific attributes, for example, PWM Frequency and Duty Select.
Number of Configurable Inputs
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - All FW* | USINT[8] | [] = 0 | 0 | 8 | Number of inputs [ Axis 1 Inputs, Axis 2 Inputs, Axis 3 Inputs, Axis 4 Inputs, Axis 5 Inputs, Axis 6 Inputs, Axis 7 Inputs, Axis 8 Inputs] |
Firmware only parameter (does not go to the device) that controls how much of the Digital Input Configuration array is sent to the device for a given axis instance.
Important: | This attribute is only needed if Digital Input Configuration is supported. |
The number of configurable inputs can vary for each axis instance supported by a multi-axis drive module. The indexed elements of this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not applicable or configured are set to 0.
Source of Configurable Inputs
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - All FW* | USINT[8] | [] = 0 | 0 | 8 | Number of inputs [ Axis 1 Input Source, Axis 2 Input Source, Axis 3 Input Source, Axis 4 Input Source, Axis 5 Input Source, Axis 6 Input Source, Axis 7 Input Source, Axis 8 Input Source] |
Firmware only parameter (does not go to the device) that specifies the axis instance that sources the configurable digital inputs for a given axis of the device.
Important: | This attribute is only needed if Digital Input Configuration is supported. |
While axis instances generally provide their own set of configurable inputs, in some cases axis instances, like feedback only axis instances, utilize the digital inputs from another axis instance. The Source of Configurable Inputs element can be used to identify another axis instance as the source for its digital inputs. The indexed elements of this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not applicable or configured are set to 0.
Primary Bus Sharing Group
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - BD | USINT | 0 | - | - | Enumeration: 0 = Standalone 1 = Bus Group 1 2 = Bus Group 2 3 = Bus Group 3 4 = Bus Group 4 5 = Bus Group 5 6 = Bus Group 6 7 = Bus Group 7 8 = Bus Group 8 9 = Bus Group 9 10 = Bus Group 10 11 = Bus Group 11 12 = Bus Group 12 13 = Bus Group 13 14 = Bus Group 14 15 = Bus Group 15 16 = Bus Group 16 17 = Bus Group 17 18 = Bus Group 18 19 = Bus Group 19 20 = Bus Group 20 21 = Bus Group 21 22 = Bus Group 22 23 = Bus Group 23 24 = Bus Group 24 25 = Bus Group 25 |
This enumerated selection indicates the primary Bus Sharing Group the device is assigned to. Physically, a Bus Sharing Group represents a collection of devices that are wired together on a primary DC Bus with in a Shared AC/DC, Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC Bus Configuration. Assignment to a Bus Sharing Group limits the DC Bus Unload action initiated by a converter in the group, and the resultant Bus Power Sharing exceptions, to Shared AC/DC, Shared DC/DC, and Shared DC devices in the converter's assigned Bus Group. Drives assigned to other Bus Groups are, therefore, unaffected.
If the device’s Bus Configuration indicates Standalone operation, the only valid enumeration for the Bus Sharing Group is Standalone.
If the device’s Bus Configuration indicates Shared AC/DC, Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC operation, the device should be assigned to a specific primary Bus Group. The Standalone enumeration in this case is invalid.
If the device’s supports the optional Bus Configuration attribute, the Bus Sharing Group is required in the drive profile implementation.
Secondary Bus Sharing Group
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - BD | USINT | 0 | - | - | Enumeration: 0 = (reserved) 1 = Bus Group 1 2 = Bus Group 2 3 = Bus Group 3 4 = Bus Group 4 5 = Bus Group 5 6 = Bus Group 6 7 = Bus Group 7 8 = Bus Group 8 9 = Bus Group 9 10 = Bus Group 10 11 = Bus Group 11 12 = Bus Group 12 13 = Bus Group 13 14 = Bus Group 14 15 = Bus Group 15 16 = Bus Group 16 17 = Bus Group 17 18 = Bus Group 18 19 = Bus Group 19 20 = Bus Group 20 21 = Bus Group 21 22 = Bus Group 22 23 = Bus Group 23 24 = Bus Group 24 25 = Bus Group 25 |
This enumerated selection indicates the secondary Bus Sharing Group the device is assigned to. Physically, a secondary Bus Sharing Group represents a collection of devices that are wired together on a Secondary DC Bus with a Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC Bus Configuration. Assignment to a Secondary Bus Sharing Group limits the DC Bus Unload action initiated by a DC/DC converter in the group, and the resultant Bus Power Sharing exceptions, to Shared DC drives in the converter's assigned secondary Bus Group. Devices assigned to other Bus Groups are, therefore, unaffected.
If the Bus Configuration for a device connected to a secondary DC Bus indicates Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC operation, the device should be assigned to a specific Bus Group.
If the device is designed to operate on a secondary DC Bus, the optional Bus Configuration and secondary Bus Sharing Group attributes are required in the drive profile implementation
Cyclic Read Limits
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
USINT[8] | [ ]=0 | 0 | 25 | # of cyclic reads [ Axis 1 Reads, Axis 2 Reads, Axis 3 Reads, Axis 4 Reads, Axis 5 Reads, Axis 6 Reads, Axis 7 Reads, Axis 8 Reads] |
FW only parameter (does not go to the device) but controls how many Cyclic Read attributes can be configured for a given axis instance. The number of configurable inputs can vary for each axis instance supported by a multi-axis drive module. The indexed elements of this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not applicable or configured are set to 0.
Cyclic Write Limits
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
USINT[8] | [ ]=0 | 0 | 25 | # of cyclic writes [ Axis 1 Writes, Axis 2 Writes, Axis 3 Writes, Axis 4 Writes, Axis 5 Writes, Axis 6 Writes, Axis 7 Writes, Axis 8 Writes] |
FW only parameter (does not go to the device) but controls how many Cyclic Writes attributes can be configured for a given axis instance. The number of configurable inputs can vary for each axis instance supported by a multi-axis drive module. The indexed elements of this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not applicable or configured are set to 0.
Track ID
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - X | USINT | 0 | - | - | Enumeration: 0 = Not Specified 1 = Track 1 2 = Track 2 3 = Track 3 4 = Track 4 5 = Track 5 6 = Track 6 7 = Track 7 8 = Track 8 |
This enumerated selection identifies the Track that the device is incorporated into. Physically, a Track ID represents a collection of devices that are wired together to create a unique track layout. The Track ID can be used to validate any configurations that must be consistent across a Track definition. Devices assigned to other Track IDs are unaffected.
If the Track ID is defined as the default value of Not Specified, validation cannot be performed for those devices.
